Air Max 90 "Atmos 2012"

The latest shoe from Ecentrik Artistry is titled "Atmos 2012". For those unfamiliar with the the name, Atmos is a famous sneaker boutique in Tokyo, Japan (there's also a location in Harlem NYC). Back in 2007, Atmos Tokyo did a collaboration shoe with Nike that was named after the Boutique. The shoe design was done using an Air Max 1 shoe:

Word is that Nike produced somewhere around 5,000 of this shoe, which I have seen lately go for around $400+ on some sites. I've always been a fan of this shoe (more so the colorway) and wanted to do something that touches on it but with a bit of a different twist. The idea I had was to do this colorway on a pair of air max 90s (always thought this design would look good on a pair of those) but wanted to do something besides cement print, which while a cool effect can get a bit repetitive after a while.

I loved the blue pattern in this particular shoe, so the idea was to take that same pattern style and combine it with the Atmos shoe colorway to create a hybrid with the Nike design and one of my own originals. The result was this:

The Atmos 2012 Air Max 90s are made to order and available for both men & women at the link below. If your size is not listed, contact info@ecentrikart.net for availability.

The latest of my wrestling themes is based on probably the most popular faction in professional wrestling. The Bullet Club is a wrestling faction in Ring Of Honor Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling consisting of Cody Rhodes (son of the legendary Dusty Rhodes), Adam Cole (ROH World Champion), Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks (ROH World Tag Team Champions), Hangman Page, Guerrillas of Destiny (G.O.D.), Frankie Kazarian, Yujiro Takahashi, Bad Luck Fale, & Bone Soldier. For those who were wrestling fans in the 90's, think a new and improved version of the NWO (but with better talent IMO). Former members of the group include current WWE superstars Prince Devitt (aka Finn Balor), Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, and former world champion AJ Styles.

Recently, a close friend of mine who's also a huge wrestling fan as well as a talented artist (check out his Facebook pages...he does sports art themes and caricatures...and yes he takes commissions!) commissioned me to do some sneaker…

This custom theme takes the Puma Smash shoe and give it a funky graffiti inspired twist using mainly primary colors, giving it an old school hip hop inspired vide and style. These are currently available at the website (men's sizes only) and only one pair will be made for each available size.

The idea for these came from an old baby picture of me with my mom. I mentioned how she resembled Marvel Comics character Misty Knight (mom was rocking an awesome fro' in the pic) and she gave me the idea to make her a pair of boots themed after the character. For those unaware, Misty Knight is a Marvel super hero and supporting character in the Luke Cage Netflix series. In the comics, she's a kick ass super hero with a metal arm who's skilled in martial arts, has super strength, and is the love interest of Iron Fist (who's Netflix series debuts next spring).

The base for the custom was a pair of women's black leather Timberland boots. I decided to go primarily red for the base color (similar to the above pic) and added a comic book-like style and here's the finished product:

I even included the Daughters of the Dragon logo on the hangtag that came with the boots (Daughters of the Dragon is a comic book series starring Misty Knight and Colleen Wing). And…
